Written by Make Space Storage

Spring is the season of renewal, and that makes it the perfect time to tackle spring cleaning. Whether you're decluttering your home, making space in your garage, or preparing your business for the warmer months, having a solid storage plan can make your spring cleaning more efficient and stress-free.

At Make Space Storage, we offer a range of self storage solutions to help make your spring cleaning easier. From self storage units and portable storage containers to vehicle storage for boats and RVs, we have the perfect storage options to clear out space while keeping your belongings safe and accessible.

Why Spring Cleaning Matters

Spring is the best time to refresh your home, workspace, or business. A deep clean and declutter session can:

  • Improve organization and efficiency
  • Create a healthier living environment by eliminating dust and allergens
  • Reduce stress by removing unnecessary clutter
  • Helps you take stock of your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or store

By incorporating self storage units and portable storage containers into your spring cleaning routine, you can keep seasonal items safe, free up valuable space, and maintain a clean and organized home or business year-round.

Self Storage for a Clutter-Free Spring Cleaning

If you’re looking for a convenient way to store seasonal items, furniture, or excess belongings, a self storage unit is an excellent solution. Whether you're cleaning out your basement, garage, or spare room, self storage gives you the flexibility to keep what you need while clearing out what you don’t. 

What Can You Store in a Self Storage Unit During Spring Cleaning?


Winter Clothing & Gear – Pack away heavy coats, boots, and winter sports equipment until next year.

Holiday Decorations – Free up space in closets and storage rooms by moving holiday décor into storage.

Extra Furniture & Household Items – If you're rearranging or downsizing, a self storage unit is a great place to store furniture you’re not ready to part with.

Business & Office Storage – Spring is the perfect time to declutter office spaces and store documents, inventory, and supplies in a safe, offsite location.

Sports & Hobby Equipment – From skis and snowboards to fishing gear and bicycles, keep your seasonal equipment organized and out of the way until you need it.


Portable Storage Containers for Flexible Spring Cleaning

For homeowners and businesses looking for a flexible and convenient storage option, portable storage containers provide a great solution. Instead of transporting your belongings to a storage facility, a portable storage container is delivered to your home or job site, allowing you to pack at your own pace. Once you’re all packed up, you can either keep the container on-site for easy access or, where available, you can have it moved back to one of our secure facilities for long-term storage. 

How Portable Storage Can Help Your Spring Cleaning Efforts:


Declutter on Your Schedule – Take your time sorting through your belongings without rushing to move them.

Perfect for Home Renovations – If you’re remodeling, a portable storage container keeps your furniture and belongings safe while work is underway. It’s also perfect for storing tools, materials and other supplies out of the way 

Business Storage On-Site – Great for retailers, landscapers, and contractors who need seasonal storage solutions.

Moving Made Simple – Planning a move this spring? A portable storage unit gives you the flexibility to pack at your own pace. Ready to get moving? We can pick the container up and transport it to your new address. You can keep the container as long as you need for a stress-free transition to your new home.

Worksite Storage – Keep tools, equipment, and materials secure and accessible with a portable storage container right at your job site.

Temporary Office Space – Need extra room for paperwork, equipment, or staff? Office containers offer a mobile workspace solution.


Vehicle Storage: Free Up Your Driveway This Spring
